President Hugo Chávez set a date for a constitutional amendment which allows for indefinite reelection. According to him, December is enough to prepare everything and the referendum could be held in January. "I will ask you just one thing. If we are to do it, it is to get a landslide victory, to knock out.
Further, if we are to do it, let us do it now. It is now or never. I would not like to spend 2009 in a debate, saying that Chávez is a tyrant or half tyrant," he reasoned.
He asked the opposition to get ready for the polls. "Opposition brainy analysts have said that I was left without the cities; they must be glad. Now, you take soap to do the laundry; go and buy your espadrilles because you will have to dance a joropo," said Chávez, meaning that he will put up a fight.
"This may be perfectly prepared in December, and then in January, straight away, from the very beginning of the year, the people's crushing, armored attack, and at the forefront, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, battalions, patrols, patrollers, the Bolivarian people, the youth, missions, and Miranda Front," he added.
